I've too much grace to play the knave,
And too much pride to turn a slave;
I love my country from my soul,
And grieve when knaves or fools controul.
. . . [a long essay on present troubles follows.]
Remember, O my friends, the laws, the rights,
The gen'rous plan of power deliver'd down,
From age to age, by your renowned forefathers,
(So dearly bought, the price of so much blood.)
. . . [5 more lines, signed] An American
